Sports Sustainability
Volunteer with Ralphie's Green Stampede
Ralphie's Green Stampede (RGS) is CU’s sports sustainability program created by Facilities Management Recycling and Solid Waste, CU Athletics and the Environmental Center. Many players and partners work on this program to make it successful, including Facilities Management Grounds, CU Parking, Levy Restaurants and Buffalo Sports Properties.
Help continue CU Boulder's tradition of zero waste at CU football games. Folsom Field is home to the nation's first zero-waste athletics program. RGS has won three Pac-12 sustainability championships in the past five years. By volunteering with RGS, you will play a key role in recycling and composting hundreds of thousands of pounds of material every season. Volunteers will gain skills in event operations, zero waste and sustainable leadership, and also join a community of hundreds of CU students, staff and community members that work to make the CU Buffs zero waste champions. RGS has won three GameDay Zero Waste Touchdown Challenges and four Pac-12 Sustainabilty Challenges over the past 8 years.
Volunteers receive free entry to games, an RGS shirt and other great perks. Email Green.Stampede@colorado.edu with questions.
